Lava Beds
Wow! This is such an beautiful sight! If only we could visit there. Could we? Maybe so. In 1925 President Calvin Coolidge declared Lava Beds a national monument which I understand why. Even though its a "secret" park of volcanic rocks and many underground caves it is full of history and geological wonders.
As a student at Atkinson County Middle School I believe that going to the Lava Beds National Monument would be and excellent opportunity for us eighth graders to learn about how it was created and formed over the years and we could learn about its history from over the years. If we the eighth grade were allowed to go on this trip we would need to be able to bring tons of gear to keep us safe and protected. For instance we may need sturdy …show more content…
shoes, jackets to keep us warm, helmets to protect our head of any falling rock, knee pads, and flashlights to lead our way down the tunnel. Approximately it would take exactly one day and sixteen days.
To be able to go on this trip would be an honor by learning and maybe even seeing some of the 700 caves that it has. Before entering the cave you will be tested for white-nose syndrome. White-nose syndrome is a disease for hibernating bats that has spread from the northeastern to the central United States at an alarming rate. Five out of the seven hundred caves are Juniper Cave, Hercules Leg Cave, Sentinel Cave, Lava Brook Cave, and Labyrinth Cave.
Even if we did go there is many bad things you could do.
We may loose a student, but we may find him. Someone could get hurt, but you could take them to the hospital which is only a few minutes away. There is always a possibility that someone might get sick and we would have to turn around and head back home. You may get food poisoning; you will get over it by a few hours or so. The bus may run out of gas or the bus may have a flat tire which you could always bring extra gas and an extra tire.
Many students would absolutely love to learn about the beds history and about its many different cultures. The first Lava Bed was made thousands and thousands of years ago. The caves that hold the beds are up to two miles long ! The first beds were made when lava had flown through and then started to cool down and then it stopped flowing leaving it to form. As you visit its outstanding home there are many adventurous things you could do. For instance you could take guided tours of the park, hike along many trails, climb cinder cones. and learn about natural volcanoes and high deserts in California.
As a new journey that awaits day after day we the eighth grade would learn more and more form this
experience.
